Effectively Yes
DM,
What would be the skill appropriate for manipulation of electronic devices? (hacking, disabling, etc.) Or is the world devoid of electric power at this point?
I assume either disable device or some variant of the knowledge skill?

Profession (electrician) or Craft (electronics) to build from scratch, or Disable Device to hack, but no Internet remains, and most power plants, satellites, towers, etc have been demolished by monsters at Cthulhu's command.
What is the concensus about telling Crawler that we were sent to kill him, but we would rather not, what can he do to help us kill the spider guy?
I think at this point it just wants to eat us regardless. Phase spiders arent a particularly diplomatic group. I vote we shoot it a lot.
Oh yea, DM, another Q.
Are we going to be sticking to initiative or start using a "you go, we go" sort of system so we dont have to wait on an init order?
You guys go, I go is fine.
It might matter for Buffs and AoO's perhaps

True. We can retroactively edit....
Nice AoO on The CBD, Koran, for the kill!
Lol, CBD's ass too big to make a complete withdraw from Koran--the left cheek makes, but the right cheek provokes from an adjacent square...
1,600 XP earned; with 7 PCs, you'll need another 12,400 XP to level to 3rd....
Woot.. Teamwork... We just need to do something about that other creature.. and while we are here.. I guess explore this area as well.
Yes, nicely done, Team Lido. I considered reducing the CR of the XP reward by 1 due to the fact that you had the oil of etherealness, which kind of takes away the phase spider's big trick, but you'd defeated him by readying actions on the Material Plane and f+~*ing him up in one round anyway, so I have you full XP for the encounter.
Now.. there is no way to end the effect early now is there? Also why doesnt Kate use the oil?
Now we have an encounter where a large number of cannibal slaves are about to pour out of the hotel rooms and abduct poor Kate for a brutal gang rape followed by a torturous death being ripped apart....
Unless they see the other PCs quickly return with the head of CBD, in which case they would recognize not only bad mofos, but their liberators from bondage, effectively "defeating" the encounter.
Do I award you the XP you would've earned had you killed them all in battle, or a reduced amount to reflect that you were only in potential danger from the cannibals? There are a significant number of cannibals, so the XP award for defeating them in combat is pretty friggin significant, too. Is it fair to give it to you, since if you didn't defeat the phase spider, the cannibals would soon be attacking as well? Or would that be giving you XP you didn't really earn?
Now.. there is no way to end the effect early now is there? Also why doesnt Kate use the oil?
As a free action, you can return to the MP; as a move action, you can enter the EP, for ten minutes. You can shift back and forth like this for the next 10 minutes.
Ya, I guess Kate would use the oil too if you didn't return quickly, she was afraid to go to the EP and risk getting bit by CBD! Lol!
On the one hand, stopping a horde of insane cannibals from attacking you by showing them that you'd defeated their hated master should be worth some XP, obviously. On the other hand, if you weren't subjected to actual attacks and damage, etc, do you really deserve full XP for the "defeated" cannibals? Or should it be maybe half what you'd get for fighting and winning?
BTW, Kinyama hasn't adjusted his hp yet on his character sheet I noticed--still says 13 but I think you have 22 now, right?
Have them attack us, not realizing what we have done. I'm feral so I want to put it. To use.
I say either is fine.. we will most likely mop them up and after about half of them die have them surrender.
Wow.. We dominated that a bit fast I guess you didnt expect it to die in like... 3 rounds
Ya, I guess forewarned is a damn good advantage, especially with the oils, but in the end, it was really sticking close so you could get him with readied shots when he showed up for another bite attempt at Kate....
Yup.. and then SUDDEN ENLARGED hammer... I dunno about you guys but.. soon soon.. we shall end the TUtB... I cannot abide his existence. Also do we assume that we somehow help out the cannibals?
And I believe that hammer was huge size at this point as well.
A small note... ALL THE SAVES ... and Lay on Hands... finally. Hrm I am ready to hear what this creature has to say... because very rarely do you want to empower those who have proven themselves capable unless you shall gain something out of it.
..... Ohh s!%+.. I had hoped he DIDN'T do that while we were still there.. and he did it.. In front of Derrik... to a unarmed woman fleeing for her life... with overkill. Uuuh Guys.. should I feel bad that I MAY want to engage it... especially now that it is clearly visible.. I ask now before my character blows a gasket ESPECIALLY since it will bring back the Chuul to his brain.
well RP wise that does seem like the logical thing to do. however gameplay wise it did just deal 7d6 which i believe kills anyone in our party, except maybe a raging Koran.
7d6 is avg 24 damage, Max being 42 and Reflex for half.. that doesn't drop anyone who has a con score and is full Bab. And we re level 3 so assuming even the wizard with no con would have 14 And we have a channeling Cleric, I think we'd be fine with 2d6...
Though I am built to take abuse like its nothing. The small issue is that he will not come down.. ever.. he WILL run.
Hnnnngggg, GM Your are VERRY good at trying a paladin's patience and code. Or really any decent person who thinks they have ANY chance of killing the creature.

LOL, looks like Radsworth is the one to break! ;)
Now you get your chance to deal justice, noble paladin!
Yea,
Rad hated this thing from the git-go because of how much he hates the cannibals. They represent everything ignoble about humanity, and their idiocy is the anathema to everything higher education was meant to prevent.
So he thought "well, perhaps I can redeem a child from these people and take things a step at a time..." then the spider said it eats them.
I did 18 damage though, that's a pretty good hit. Too bad I don't have my 3rd level spells already.
Derrik was all for just ganking the creature as well but as Kinyama was saying it could put everyone else in danger.. and as a new person he didnt want to force the groups hand.. I actually planned on if the group went away he would stay and fight the creature his own if he had too. He could not sleep knowing it was alive causing more pain.. even if it was possible suicide. He also realized that a creature who showed such might to normal NON-suicidal heroes would break the human psyche and force them to its will.. so the cannibals are a byproduct of self-preservation... the thing most adventurers or Heroes lack.
Now all we need is Koran, Mephos and Kinyama... as this is a bigger battle ... rather not start without them.. kinda.
I agree. We dont want to go all the way through this without them, but the DM said they would just retroactively get counted anyways.. and this is a FAST moving pbp.
Im actually surprised by the speed we have pretty much kept up with an online VTT game or a RL game as far as speed goes. Maybe its because we have alot of committed players and a fun premise.
I am really enjoying this campaign! I might even try to novelize it if it doesn't stop rocking my socks off...Lol!
32 pts of dmg so far between Radsworth's and Kate's bullets and Grimm's fire bombs! Halfway dead before TUtB even gets to act! Lol!
As a consolation prize.. the Paladin chasing it missed soo thats somthin'..
Lawl.
Damn, you guys are kicking some evil ass!!
So far, the monster death toll is....
1 chuul (CR 7)
1 phase spider (CR 5)
1 drider (CR 7)
And liberated or killed some 200 cannibal slaves
Real Heroes never rest.
How do we split up this loot?
I'm.. not even sure.
How do we split up this loot?
Heheh, ya, not your typical DnD treasure.
You can certainly distribute to individual PCs anything that might be of use to them out of it, but otherwise, if you just bring the loot back to PB, they will reward your PCs more appropriately in exchange for it, and see that it gets put to proper use.
I vote we let Pandora sort it out. Then you can just buy back from them anything you wanted in particular.
Radsworth and anyone else considering the Leadership feat
-- feel free to create aliases for and post for any of these liberated cannibal slaves you'd like to have as cohorts or followers....
we cant take the leadership feat yet. also how much xp did we get for the tutb?

But you can feel free to plant the fluff seed if you plan on taking it later.
The TUtB was worth 3,200 XP, divided by 7 PCs. I'm tracking it and will let u know when u level, but never hurts to have others keeping track also.
Hrm... I dont think Derrik is the leader type.. or is he?
Lordie.. I leave for.. 4 hours and i come back to so much Development! Woot.

Good idea.
